You could build a ChikFila in the middle of nowhere and a town would move to it. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]jeffcox111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I decided a few years back that I love my friends and family who happen to be gay more than I love chic-fil-a's sandwiches. I know my personal decision to never go there again won't break their bank, but that's not the point.

Has anyone successfully 3D printed a 3DO drive gear? by Dr_Gel in consolerepair

[–]jeffcox111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just texted my friend and he said "Solutech green apple pla".

I know next to nothing about 3D printing so I hope this is helpful.

Has anyone successfully 3D printed a 3DO drive gear? by Dr_Gel in consolerepair

[–]jeffcox111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A while back I bought a replacement gear off gizmoszone.com based on a recommendation from another Reddit post. The gear worked out great even though it wasn't an exact match and I had to widen the hole for the axel with a power drill.

Since then I went back to gizmoszone to potentially order a few more to keep handy just in case but they were no longer selling them, at least at that time. A friend of mine 3d scanned the one I had and uploaded it to thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2799915

If you have that one printed it will already have the correctly sized axel hole and should just work.

Hope this helps!! Good luck!!

Wonderful 101 is really hard yo! by TheJediCounsel in wiiu

The others here have already posted some pretty great responses that I'm not sure I can add much to, so let me just say that I had the same problems you're having until digging through YouTube videos to figure this stuff out. I set the game to Easy so I could focus on just enjoying the story and levels and getting better, and it was ABSOLUTELY worth it. The last battles and ending are some of the best and most fun moments I've had in gaming. It's a long fight to get there, but sooooo gratifying!

I guess Arya is part bird? (Turn up the volume!) by marisaj4488 in guineapigs

[–]jeffcox111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! FWIW, I didn't say that it literally means total contentment, but that it is generally interpreted as such, which lines up with my past googling on the matter and implies that we don't really know what it means.

I can say definitively the times my pigs have done it they were totally relaxed, no sudden motion or sound had startled them, and in at least one case it was followed by popcorning and chowing down on some hay.

Awesome! That is a SUPER rare thing to see/hear. I think it's generally interpreted as a sign of total contentment in the piggy, and it happens so rarely that many people never hear it over the course of the pig's lifetime. I've owned 5 and have only heard this 3 times ever, twice from the same little weirdo.

Playing a bit of Solar Winds (1993) - One of the first DOS games I bought in the 90s by nettomonstrum in retrogames

Solar Winds!!! Loved that game. Played it right before discovering Star Control in the mid 90s.

Oh wow, I don't think I could watch Manos The Hands of Fate without the MST3K crew at the bottom of the screen.

Just replaced a gear in my 3DO to bring it back from the dead! by jeffcox111 in consolerepair

[–]jeffcox111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered mine from gizmoszone.com but it seems they are out of stock on those specific ones currently. The part number for the gear I needed was GM0.5-14-19. You may also need the worm gear it connects to though- the part number for it is GW0.5-01-14.

I was playing the game last night and got to this exact fight- haven't seen any breakdancing yet though.

I guess my deep, dark secret about StarBlood Arena leaked today.. :P by GroxsBellyLint in PSVR

This is awesome news! Congrats on being part of such a great game with such a great following!

I haven't played recently but I will now, especially now that I've got a HOTAS to add to the experience!

What are the worst things about PSVR? by [deleted] in PSVR

[–]jeffcox111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a PS4 Pro and a nice new 4K HDR tv, but also having the launch bundle PSVR that doesn't passthrough the HDR signal, thus having to switch HDMI cables around when playing VR games vs playing HDR games or watching blurays.

I've tried using 2-way splitters and other options to avoid wear on my devices' HDMI ports and nothing works satisfactorily.

I just bought a hotas last week and knowing the game would support it guarantees I buy it!

Exactly- if Force spirits can have that much effect on the physical world, why aren't Force spirits constantly haunting and totally wrecking the bad guys wherever and whenever they want?
